Max Factor Miracle Smooth Primer Review

The Max Factor Miracle Smooth Primer comes in an attractive pump bottle. The pump made it a very easy product to use and I found that one pump was the perfect amount of primer for a single application.

I applied the primer after cleansing and moisturizing my face. I then applied a foundation over the primer. The primer went on very smooth and has a nice silky feeling. It felt very lightweight on my skin and suitable for daily use.

I used the primer under the matching Max Factor foundation and under a Clinique foundation and found that my both foundations looked smoother than using it without a primer. I am in my 30's and have some fine lines as well as uneven skin from acne pit scarring from when I was in my 20's and the primer made a noticeable difference on both of these issues.

I really liked this primer and would totally use it again and again! I am also one of those people who don't normally bother with primer (eek naughty) so this primer has shown me the light! It really does make your skin look much more flawless.

BEST PRIMER EVER!!!!

I was soooooo impressed!! I thought being a cream like product it wouldn't do much but boy was I wrong!!!!

I have oily skin and large pores on my nose, I had been using babyskin primer, which is kinda crap at times if you don't apply it right. But the miracle smooth primer you cannot apply it wrong.

My foundation stays on ALL day my skin looks smooth and hydrated and best of oil it actually helps control shine!

No more sliding foundation!!!! I really love this! I applied with fingers as you would a moisturiser.

Easy to hold pump bottle , no mess , no fuss and no tube squeezing yay!!!

I was lucky enough to be selected for a BR trial team to review this product. This primer is in a pump bottle and the packaging is nice and very user friendly. The pump gives enough but I have been doing a pump and a bit and it gives me good coverage. The primer itself is white and is a bit thicker than others I have used in the past. I haven't noticed any particular smell or fragrance associated with it which I prefer from a primer. I apply it with my foundation brush and it applies well, sinks into my skin fast and I can apply foundation on top of it straight away. With every other primer I leave it to sit for at least a couple of minutes before moving onto the next step but there's absolutely no need to do that with this one. This primer creates a fantastic base to apply my makeup onto and leaves my skin looking smooth and flawless. The foundation I applied on top of this lasted well all day. I have really enjoyed trialling this product and will be purchasing it when I run out of it.

I have only just in the past year been using a primer, I can tell everyone now how important it is to own one and use one. It makes a huge difference to the way a foundation sits on your skin.

I love a matte finish when it comes to makeup. But I love a smooth skin tone illusion aswell. One that makes my skin look pore less and flawless.

This primer has such and obscure smell to it. A little chemically, a little almond smelling. It's white in colour and it's on the thicker side in comparison to ones I have used.

I've used this over 2 weeks with the Miracle touch Max Factor Foundation and with a Maybelline foundation and it really does make a difference to the way both foundations have sat on my face and stayed on it.

I use 2 pumps to have enough product to cover my face. I let it sit on my skin for 2 minutes before proceeding with my foundation. The formula is quite a silky texture but almost feels like a powder once dried. With foundation overy the top both sat amazingly and had similar results. My skin was even, it was absolutely flawless and left it looking incredibly natural. The longevity I easily found 8 hours easy. With no patches or no areas where my makeup had shifted.

I really enjoy this primer and will be adding it to my buy again list, however the price is a little steep so only when and if it's on special.

Thank you BR for allowing me to be apart of this trial.

I was over the moon to be selected for this trial. In the last two years I have started using primers. I can see the difference with my make up since using a primer. My skin type is dry and ageing is happening . Finding the right primer can be tricky for me.

This bottle has the max factor labelling. I like these pump bottles designed like this because it makes getting the product out easy and clean. The consistency of this primer is soft creamy . I can't detect a scent with this .

I find applying this primer easy. It feels like a silk layer on my skin. I tried wearing this on its own and it felt lovely on my skin. Absorbs easily on my skin and feels non greasy . I tried wearing this under the max factor foundation and it gave it long wearing and smooth lightweight feel to the foundation.

Out of all the primers I have tried to date this one is the best. It feels comfortable to wear. It could easily last me a few months making it worth its value for money. It is pricy but I would definitely purchase it.

Primer comes in a 30ml self dispensing pottle, that distributes what appears to be alot however taking a bit of time to apply (including down around chin) it gave me the ideal amount. For me self dispensing is great for hygiene.

I always found primers to be a bit of a mystery. I am old school and back in my day wearing a great moisturiser was all that was needed (& available). Now that I am mid 40’s there is a world of product. I was thrilled to try this Max Factor product.

I am not usually easily impressed but have to say this primer is amazing!! It smells great and without a doubt made my foundation radiant & much smoother& flawless. I noticed before applying it my skin has a beautiful radiance about it (so would consider just using some powder over the primer on those “no makeup days”).

I’ve been using it with the Max Factor Ageless Elixir Miracle Foundation & hand in hand these two are a match made in heaven. Leaving the primer to settle for a few minutes the foundation glided on without any trouble, I find blending was easier than usual.

In winter if I don’t keep up with intense moisturizing my skin can dry out very quickly, this product has covered and instantly corrected this (what a dream!!), my foundation lasted all day with only very minimal touch-up required later in the afternoon (so a good 7 hrs wear time). First day wearing I had someone ask me what I do to keep my skin looking so nice, could be just coincidence but I like to think not  I was told that my complexion looked so natural & not at all caked in foundation, the kind of feedback anyone wants.

All in all this is the best primer I have ever tried, worth a mention that I had no reaction at all, no breakouts (which I can get at times trying new products). One happy primer here and is mid range price but in my opinion well worth (if anything good value for $ especially at 30ml).

I love this primer the best one I have used. Its so easy to apply. smooths out all my imperfections. My skins feels amazing. A little bit goes a long way.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this product. The primer comes in a light-weight, smooth and tubular bottle with gold accents on the label. The product is dispensed by a white pump nozzle which is covered by a clear plastic cap. The nozzle dispenses a small amount in one pump, which is sufficient for about a third of your face.

On my first use of this primer I was surprised because it feels quite different to other primers I have used. This is because the others had felt like silicon, whereas this one has the feel and texture of a cream. My other primers, when applied to my skin, had felt like I was putting a film over my skin. Max Factor's primer feels like it is part of the skin instead.

The primer massages well into the skin, and has a very faint scent. I was able to apply foundation over the top of it right away, and the foundation stayed in place once it was applied.

After using this primer my makeup stayed in place all day, including the extra thick makeup areas where I had to cover blemishes. I felt that my makeup moved less with this primer than it did with the other primers I have used. However, I did use this in conjunction with a makeup setting spray, but the same goes for the other primers I have used.

Altogether, I think this primer works very well. It did not irritate my skin, and I think it is worth the difference in price between it and the lower price point primers I have been previously using.

I had never user primer before but I must say I'm in love with how it makes my skin feel, I have dry skin and while using this I cant stop touching my face, it feels so soft and smooth. I use it after applying my moisturizer and before using foundation.

It comes in a pump bottle which I love, one pump into my hand and I rub it all over my face with the palms of my hands (I'm not sure if this is how its meant to be done as I'm a bit of a make up novice but it works), I then wait a few minutes before applying my foundation.

I'm a person who always sweats on my face, so most of the time my make up runs away, not the case when using this! My foundation stayed put all day for the 3 days I have tried it so far. I went for a run to put it to the test and still my foundation stayed put. I'm very excited about this!

It has a subtle smell, I cant describe it, but its a nice smell, and I would describe the consistency to be similar to moisturiser.

I will continue to use this and would definately recommend it to my friends

I was lucky enough to be given this by BR to trial. I was just running low on my Hourglass primer so it was excellent timing.

I've seen comments that the packaging looks rather cheap. A plastic tube with pump. But I like it. You get what you pay for and I don't mind when the product is cheaper if you get practical and reasonable packaging. I particularly like that the tube is see through so you can see how much is left. I also like the pump so you actually get the product out - unlike squeezy tubes where you open them and still have a week worth of product (here's looking at you pore-fessional).

The product itself is white - as per a lot of primers. It has a cream consistency which I like. It makes it easy to smooth into the skin. The smell I find quite chemically and I'm not a big fan, but for once I got over that rather quickly. It smooths on to the skin quickly and easily. I have used this with both the Max Factor foundation and my usual Bobbi Brown foundation and have found that it helps with the longevity of both. It certainly does have a silicone feel to it - but not as bad as the Benefit primer.

Overall I really like this product and would recommend it to friends in the market for a primer.
